Graham squeals - again.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, has some harsh words for the recently released Benghazi report, led by his own party.

"I think the report is full of crap," Graham told Gloria Borger on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"I don't believe that the report is accurate, given the role that Mike Morell (deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency at the time) played in misleading the Congress on two different occasions. Why didn't the report say that?"

The investigative report Graham is referring to was released Friday by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, and Ranking Member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Maryland.

The report finds little to support the questions that have been raised about CIA actions on the ground in Benghazi the night of the deadly attack on September 11, 2012.

Graham, who has maintained a critical voice in the Benghazi controversy over the past two years, says it's "garbage" that the report finds no members of the Obama administration lied to cover up what happened in Benghazi.

"That's a bunch of garbage," Graham said. "That's a complete bunch of garbage.""  CNN

-------------------------

This man is not quite right in the head.  Rogers, the head of the House Special Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is a Republican.  This is his report.  He absolves the Obama Administration of all the charges made against it in the Benghazi incident with the exception of the lack of "hardness" in the defense of the Benghazi "consulate."  Fair enough, but that is not very important compared to what the Obama Administration is accused of by Graham, McCain and the like.

I guess Graham just prefers his fantasy life.  Someone has said that from where he stands you can see Narnia.  pl

Depressing.
On another note...any connection with Hagel's resignation and the quietly announced, year-long extension in Afghanistan?

[ex-PFC Chuck]

Hagel resigns.

All,
I guess this is what you would call a "state of denial". :D

Though it is not directly related I would like to draw your attention to three recent saker "posts".

First one is a Q & A with saker (saker answering).

http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2014/11/q-with-saker-by-controinformazione-in.html

In that he says this about the current US foreign service.

"In the past the US also had distinguished diplomats like James Baker, but now they are either total idiots (like Psaki) or arrogant liars (like Powers). The second this is that the USA truly does not have a "diplomacy". After all, US "diplomacy" is just a combination of demands, promises, threats and bombings which do not require any real diplomatic skills."

What is your opinion about sakers opinion?

Second one is post about "conspiracy theories".

Third, it seems US, Canada & Ukraine (only three, 55 absentees) has voted against a UN resolution against "glorification of Nazism" brought by Russia. Any news (there is hardly any news) about this?

I checked his wikipedia page. Apparently this man is supposed to be a reasonable, "moderate" Republican.

God help us.

I generally agree with Saker, but not on the conspiracy thing.Most people are looking for a reason to blow off opinions they don't share or facts that conflict with what they believe.
There is no reason for the front pager to get into the Ebola/Aids thing. It doesn't bolster his argument but it does drive away the curious.
His is a voice that needs to be heard, but won't be if his Front Pagers drive off into the bushes.

Mollie Hemmingway has a good run down of how the report is not so much an exoneration as it is a hand waving away of uncomfortable information it doesnt lije.

Maybe Im just expecting too much but I would think a dead ambassador is an "intelligence failure".

There are some interesting tidbits in that:

Raping young boys seems to be a-okay with Democrats in power. Meanwhile at UVA all the fraternities and sororities are being immediately suspended due to an 18 month old rape allegation that was not investigated by the university police; - but of course when it hit Rolling Stone why then the University President finally took some action, but not to actually order a police investigation or fire any administrators. Here's just a sample:

Fred,

"For thee, not for me". You can't derail the narrative that homosexuals are born without sin, but the Greek system is an easy punching bag.

This society is insane.
